§ Ms Glenda JacksonTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list his funding allocations to Camden Local Education Authority for each year since May 1997. [150961]
§ Ms Estelle MorrisI refer my hon. Friend to the letter of 16 February from my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State, which sets out the increases in funding that the Government have made available to her local education authority since 1996–97, and the increased funding for 2001–02. My right hon. Friend has written in similar terms to all hon. Members. Between 1997–98 and 2000–01 funding per pupil in Camden has increased by £470 in real terms. Under the last Government funding per pupil in Camden fell by £170 in real terms between 1995–96 and 1997–98.
